A few years ago, we put together a book of background reading for a
workshop we were doing on implementing writing systems on computers using
current technologies. The readings consisted of a collection of items that
had been prepared by different authors, but there was some coordination of
topics for at least some of the articles.
Anyway, some of the articles in this book are now available online:
The NRSI Model for Implementing Writing Systems: An introduction
